From acclaimed directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini (American Splendor), Cinema Verite is the compelling, behind-the-scenes story of An American Family, the revolutionary 1970's PBS documentary that launched a new television genre -- Reality TV. Pat and Bill Loud (Diane Lane and Tim Robbins) are approached by producer Craig Gilbert (James Gandolfini) to make television history -- to become the first "real-life" family to allow cameras into their home and their private lives. Soon enough, the cameras reveal deep-seated family issues, revolving around the marriage, the children, and the emerging ambitions of eldest son Lance (Thomas Dekker).
